by Firefox user 13457905, 8 years agoWhat I ask of LastPass is SECURITY above all...I'm not technical enough to know for certain that LastPass is the most secure option available. I have to trust reviews from people in the crypto/hacker/coding community, etc. who can analyze the code and/or hack the "system" and find vulnerabilities. From the research that I've done LastPass is a good option...the best that I've found.
Usability: LastPass is frustrating!! It doesn't do anything very well. When creating a new account it's weak. In my experience, most of the time it doesn't even "see" that you're singing up for a new account, so I have decided to open the LastPass Vault, click on the + (plus symbol) and create the account step-by-step. Even doing this is somewhat frustrating: right-clicking in the password field to generate a password forces you to mouse to the bottom of that dialog, click Generate Password and then mouse down to select Generate Password and then select your options.
MANY times I relied on LastPass to know that I am signing up for a new account and have regretted it because it either doesn't see/know what I've input into any of the fields and/or I have to go back to the site and select "Forgot Password" or whatever because LastPass effed up! Makes you feel like an idiot.
After LastPass has the correct user name(s) and password(s) in its database it still doesn't work most of the time for me. For example, I open a site and the logon dialog appears. My wife has one account and I have another account. LastPass often won't even recognize the site (the same URL that is in its database including what's after the slash, e.g. https://www.xyz.com/login).
Often LastPass will post and indicate that it recognizes the page you've loaded. I guess, you're supposed to be able to click on the LastPass icon and the login options are supposed to post (e..g. my wife's credentials and my credentials) and then click on one and it will enter your credentials. Most of the time I have to open the LastPass Vault and copy and paste the information back onto the login page.
Trying to login to leave this review took four times, i.e. my wife's credentials posted and my credentials posted. I selected my credentials three times and LastPass never entered them. I opened the vault and copy and pasted my user name and password.
Conclusion: if LastPass is as secure as the reviews I've read it's worth the frustration. But it would sure be convenient if LastPass actually worked as advertised on my devices (x3).

Older versions seem to work, but it's been several months with no fix. - Rated 5 out of 5by ufu, a month ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by mt---king, 2 months agoversion 4.146.5 is a trash. it breaks the icloud passkey on macos
- Rated 1 out of 5by Stephen S, 2 months ago4.146.5 breaks all external webauthn integration: yubikey, titan keys, and mac touch id. Verified across linux and macos.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19454996, 2 months agoUpdate: Reverting back to 4.145.0 solved this issue.
The most recent version of Lastpass with passkeys has broken TouchID on MacOS. Lastpass trying to save passkeys results in an immediate "Unable to authenticate it looks like you canceled the passkey authentication process", because it is interfering with the MacOS touchID passkey process. Thus it is unusable on websites that I use TouchID on, and also locks up the browser, forcing me to force quit and restart it. Please issue a new update. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16559621, 3 months ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by EcceNux, 4 months agoSadly, the new versions are broken. The last working version is 4.138.3 (from January 2025). I hope LP takes care of the problems. Thankfully, the downgraded version works fine :)

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16029745, 4 months agoSo a fun thing that happens with LastPass is that a) it forces sites to reload and frequently breaks login pages, so that I have to disable the extension to log into my bank (for example). It also breaks its own site, so that I can't access my vault without reinstalling the extension and clearing my cookies/cache. Which WERE just annoying, but when I had the audacity to change my phone number meant that I couldn't access my vault to update it, then couldn't use the extension at all (because I couldn't do the 2FA). Support has been actively making it worse and asking for proof of account ownership that's either a) impossible (receipt for payment), b) deeply insecure and exploitable (a photo of my face + my ID by email), or c) frankly insane (enterprise/federal-level identity verification services). Heads up: do NOT send a photo of your face with your legal identification by email unless you REALLY want your identity stolen!
- Rated 2 out of 5by Rz, 4 months agoI personally didn't experience too many problems using LP for years. Although the forced-sign outs every so often + not being able to sign in on more than one device at a time was a big inconvenience. After all the security concerns, I decided to delete my account and switch password-managers.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19127907, 4 months agoDo a search on "LastPass breaches" to see the problem. Put simply, LastPass has demonstrated that its security infrastructure — both software and DevOps — is not robust enough to warrant trust.
Moreover, its management appears substantially more interested in minimising negative publicity than ensuring client safety. In short, LastPass cannot and should not be entrusted with your passwords. I used them for over a decade, but have now moved to the open-source BitWarden.
It was a suprisingly smooth transfer, apart from having to change all the passwords that LastPass's breaches compromised. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14629144, 4 months ago
